Anyone know what a 73 2.0 engine weighs? I am considering all my options.
Originally I was looking at a LS1 or LS2 conversion, which I really like. My 75 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) is very rust free, so I am not sure about cutting such a nice chassis. There is a parts car close to me:

It would be a shame to hack up a rare good chassis for something like that. More hp is not always better. There was a recent poll here where most said 150 - 200 hp is best for a 914. Save your time and money for those guys in the pic above. Or buy a car already converted. For sure you can find one cheap relative to the cost of construction. Why? Filling the trunks with miscellaneous engine junk makes the car less useful, but more expensive. Kind of like an upside-down mortgage. Thinking about it, buying parts - thats fun. Finding time and doing the actual work - PITA and BTDT. Just my opinion.
